WSIS Prizes Contest 2019 Nominee

Vote.org by Outvote


Description

With the Vote.org app by Outvote, you can quickly text your friends a reminder to vote in the upcoming 2018 midterms.

If they aren't registered, Vote.org can provide them with the necessary information they need to register and find out where their polling place is on election day.

Vote.org is a social media app that syncs with a user’s address book to help them quickly and efficiently remind their friends to check their registration status, find their polling place location and vote.

Outvote’s flagship app is tailored for Democrats and is meant to inspire and personalize grassroots-style campaigning. Using that app, you can send messages to your friends using Facebook Messenger, too, though the app doesn’t sync with any contacts outside of your phone’s address book.
